On Monday we had a visitor from Ancient Athens come in to tell us about everyday life in Ancient Greece. She showed us Greek clothing, weapons and explained the different roles of people in Greek households. Each group were told a tale of what happens when you make the Greek gods cross – even usually calm-headed Athena.

Make sure you ask the year 5’s:

• What is a peplos?
• Who was Arachne?
• What did the Greeks wear for PE?
• Who told their soldiers “Come back with your shield, or on it”, and what does it mean?
